Mindblown: a blog about philosophy. Communication. Technology. Humans. Fashion and Society.
Movement is an expression of non-verbal communication. Technological development and progress favour people moving less in the future. It therefore requires the free desire, will and drive of people to want to move. To find the motivation to do so.

However, another cell type, glial cells, could also influence diseases in a gender-specific way. They are therefore the focus…

Elastic Inks for Textile-Integrated Electronics
Electrically conductive prints on textiles are the basis for functional textiles with electronic functions, so-called smart textiles. Conductive inks and binders must be well matched to ensure permanent conductivity even under external mechanical influences such as stretching, pressure and bending. The German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research (DITF) are working on new ink formulations…

Companies with works councils are more productive
When companies introduce robots, this is often accompanied by job losses – works councils prevent this. This is shown in a study by ZEW Mannheim. Older employees aged 55 and over in particular benefit from continued employment despite automation. This is because they have fewer opportunities on the labour market. However, works councils also offer…
